A blood sugar level of 117 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:
Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly above the normal range (70-99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes.
Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this is measured 1-2 hours after eating, it is within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL).
What to Do:
If this is a fasting level, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Monitor your blood sugar regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
For more personalized advice, always consult a healthcare professional.
